North Country wood pellets

[jtakeman]

Just wondering if anyone has heard or purchased any North Country Wood Pellets? A local pellet house is offering them at a reasonable price. If there any good I might purchase a ton.

Please post any info!

I only found this.

* Less than .05% ash

I'd post the info, But its only for currant costumers right now. I will post a site link when they have it on there site.

Price really isn't all that great at $259/ton. There are still better deals out there anyway.

mnkywrnch,

Thanks for the info and the links.

Michigans were a good pellet for me last year, But I am still looking for great pellets for less than $250/ton.

My local TCS has sales all summer long(10% to 25% off) I'll be looking for them and There Lignetics or Rocky Mountains.

But as a last resort. These wouldn't be too bad at $259/ton.

Thanks again
Jay

Ohhhh....What a difference a few years makes!
Back in 2009 when this thread was first posted, the North Country pellets were re-bagged Michigan Wood Pellets out of Holland, MI. I know this because back then I was selling them. Today, Michigan no longer sells wood pellets under the brand name North Country. But, interestingly enough, there is a sawmill in North Alberta called Manning Diversified Forest Products. They have begun making wood pellets and bagging them in a bag labeled as North Country. One mill has absolutely nothing to do with the other, nor was Manning DFP even aware of the previous "North Country" when they chose their brand name. Just a coincidence. But I bring this to your attention because back when this thread was originally posted, the North Country were not the same as today's North Country.
Same name, totally different pellet.

As well as a plant in Glens Falls, NY, it looks like they're trying to get a plant going in Berlin, NH:

Owned by Woodstone USA LLC - not much online about them.

(broken link removed) is a bust link for me.

Woodstone USA was a subsidiary of Woodstone International out of Germany. They were headquartered in Hingam, MA and had plans to build two pellet plants in the USA. One in New Hampshire and one in Massachusetts. Unfortunately, money dried up (2009 was a tough year for everybody) before the ground even got broken which was too bad because I did a good amount of business with them (This was the company that was able to successfully rail Michigan Pellets into the New England area.) and they were a great model of a company and great to do business with.
